Every Tablet PC has its day in court

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

The TC 1100 takes its case to the Quebec Court of Appeal on our weekend trip to Montreal.

 

HP, don’t discontinue this hybrid!

See this forum on Tablet PC Buzz for more info on keeping the TC1100 form factor alive. Or write to Mark Hurd, HP CEO and tell him how HP is doing itself a disservice by discontinuing the TC1100 form factor. We’ll be closely watching the outcome of the Appeals case in Quebec and elsewhere!

Tablet PC and Simon at Martinique

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Martinique Beach is a favorite Nova Scotia spot. Simon, who just moved to Nova Scotia in October, likes Martinique Beach too. He kind of calls it his own. In that way dogs do.

On a cloudy October day, you and your dog and your friends and your TC1100 can have miles of beach all to yourselves.

 

 

Cat gets the Tablet PC (again)

Why does that damn cat always get the Tablet PC? It’s just not fair!

Grape for cat; cucumber for dog:

Tablet PC vs Maritime Gale

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

West Pennant is about 40 min South of Halifax. The weather was spectacularly Nova Scotia: Winds and rains, coming and going all day long.

And here is our very good friend Tim, and his dog Simon, bravely holding the TC1100 in the midst of a forceful Maritime gale. And this is not even a rugged Tablet PC!

West Pennant vis-a-vis Halifax

A typical small Nova Scotia inlet. No wireless available!

Of course for some reason we were taking these pictures with MY tablet. Was it punishment for my insistence that we bring the tablet along for downloading photos?? But none of this weather in the end was more impressive than my dropping my tablet as I unlocked the door at home.

It still works. But don’t try to duplicate that at home! - LR
